Answer:

Yes. The are equivalent to each other

Step-by-step explanation:

21 : 35

The LCM of these two numbers is 7

When we divide both of them by 7, we're left with 3:5

24 : 40

The LCM of these two numbers is 8

When we divide both numbers by 8, we're left with 3:5

And, 3:5 = 3:5, so we can say 21:35 = 24:40

<em>PS: Also, if we multiply 21 : 35 by 8 and 24 : 40 by 7, we get the same result, i.e 168 : 280 which also proves that they are equivalent.</em>

It’s true

21:35 simplifies to 3:5 when divided by 7 on both sides

24:40 also simplifies to 3:5 when divided by 8 on both sides

Hope that helps!

Rosey knows that she needs a minimum of $1776 each month to pay all of her expenses. If she works 37 hours a week, with 4 weeks

solong [7]

Answer: $12 an hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Rosey works 37 hours a week and 4 weeks in a month.

Total hours are:

= 37 * 4

= 148 hours

In order to at least cover the $1,776 in expenses she incurs every month, Rosey's hourly pay must be:

= expenses / working hours in month

= 1,776 / 148

= $12 an hour

What rule would you allow to test weather (x,y) is on line l

n200080 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If a point (x, y) lies on a straight line, coordinates of the point will satisfy the equation.

Slope of a line passing through two points C(4, 5) and D(8, 10),

m = $\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

m = $\frac{10-5}{8-4}$

m = $\frac{5}{4}$

Equation of the line passing through C(4, 5) and slope m = $\frac{5}{4}$

y - y' = m(x - x')

y - 5 = $\frac{5}{4}(x-4)$

y = $\frac{5}{4}x-5+5$

y = $\frac{5}{4}x$

If point B(4, 0) lies on the line CD,

0 = $\frac{5}{4}(4)$

0 = 5

Which is not true.

Therefore, point B doesn't lie on line CD.
